New Special Offers at Waitrose

[Berbician]

Waitrose have reduced the price of El Dorado 5 year old from Ј17.99 to Ј13.99 till 5th January 2010. Chairman's Reserve has also been reduced from Ј16.99 to Ј12.99, but only till 1st December 2009.

They have also reduced the price of Angostura 1919 from Ј23.00 to Ј18.00, but only till 1st December 2009.

i was in sainsbury's this morning and noticed their 'own brand' white and dark rum has been bottled PET style. is this the future?!?!

[Berbician]

Waitrose has knocked another pound off the Angostura 1919. It's now Ј17.00.

[Edward Hamilton]

I was wondering about that. Angostura 1919 is Ј4 more than El Dorado 5 year old?

This is a great time of year to pop into Waitrose. It's discount-a-rama on all kinds of alcoholic beverages! As well as these great rum deals they also have fantastic offers on a dozen or so Single Malts.

Yes, Angostura 1919 is Ј17.00 till 1st December 2009, while El Dorado 5 year old is Ј13.99 till 5th January 2010. So the difference is Ј3.01. The El Dorado 5 year old is the new "cask aged" 5 year old, not the old one. I haven't seen the old one in London for a number of years now, although I dare say you can still get it in Guyana.

£4 off each bottle of Eldorado 5 and Chairmans Reserve! Bargain! I don't live that close to a Waitrose so when i passed through Monmouth on Saturday I stopped at their Waitrose and stocked up on 4 bottles of ED and two CRes. Should keep me going over Christmas!

Waitrose have started their Christmas promotions run. The deal of the month on rums is probably the Cockspur 12 for Ј15 (the ED5 is still on offer at Ј14).

I passed on the rum this time though. They have some irresistable offers on wine that I decided to go for instead. And if you like Single Malts, there are some great offers on those too. I would buy the whole shop, but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

[Berbician]

Yes, and they also have Cockspur 5 star reduced from Ј13.39 to Ј9.99.

Interestingly, Waitrose insist that Cockspur 12 is a twelve year old rum, although the label on the bottle doesn't make the same claim.

I suppose it's all relative. Alcohol - and the cost of living in general - is expensive in the UK, but then we generally have high salaries to compensate.

Sanat Teresa Anejo was Ј12.99 in my local Waitrose yesterday - no indication as to how long for though

I bought a bottle of Lambs Navy Rum at Waitrose Chiswick two weeks ago. fool on me - it's at 40%, so not navy strength, and really weak on flavor.

The bottle of Baile Nicol Jarvie Scotch was really quite nice, a good price, and unseen in our home US.

And the aged Stilton and Chedder were just a delight.

Thanks Gatomalo - if my Telegraph vouchers get to me in time I may get a further 20% off
of course i meant Santa Teresa - think I hit a spell check button which created that new distillery, but it may be just as I was typing with my thumbs
